The location was easy and excellent, near Edinburgh for 3 years, bus stop, and the airport delivered to the guest house. Moreover, it was at a moderate distance from Earthy Foods & Goods. The room was very well decorated and well-appointed, with smoke detectors and absolutely stunning views over gardens. I had a comfortable bed, and a hair dryer and an iron.

It was a newly renovated and quaint hotel in a particularly good area, just off Royal Mile, a mall, and the centre of the city. Central location was a plus. Went to Tony's Fish Bar for drink or two, set at a walking distance from the venue.
